Up to 80% savings thanks to column bonusesfor the installation of wallboxes, points of charging in Mode 3 of electric and plug-in cars. The bonus should return in 2024 seen, like every year, from 2022, with a fund of 40 million euros per year, for a total of 120 million in 3 years (2024-2022). The dates for accessing the 2024 bonus have not yet been published by the Ministry. It is a capital contribution granted by Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (Directorate General for Industrial Policy, Innovation and SMEs), according to the methods established by the General Director's Decree expected in recent months.
When to install a wallbox to get the incentive?
This is exactly the ideal time to install a wallbox! It is advisable to take advantage of the period between 1 January and October 2024 to proceed with the installation of a column. You will thus have all the time necessary to complete the work phases, starting from estimates, through installation, testing and the related certifications. By the time you get to the second half of the year, you'll be ready to apply to INVITALIA and benefit from the capital contribution.
Charging station bonus: how it works, private individuals and condominiums
The bonus electric columns provides a non-refundable incentive equal to 80% of the purchase price and theinstallation of a wallbox private (recharge MODE 3) or a condominium charging system with a maximum power of 22 kW three-phase.
Practical example: if we install a column in the garage, we can take advantage of a bonus of80%, up to spending 1,500 euros. But if the expense exceeds this amount, for example if the cost of the wallbox is 2,400 euros + VAT you receive a bonus only for 80% of the taxable amount of 2,400, equal to 1,500 euros, that is to say 1,200 euros. Therefore, to arrive at the final cost of the charging station, from the amount actually spent of 2,400 euros, 1,200 euros of the contribution for a real cost incurred of 1,200 euros.
The bonus granted is a maximum of 1,500 euros per person And 8,000 euros per condominium.
- 1,500 eurosin the case of a contribution requested by a natural person;
- 8,000 eurosin the case of a contribution requested by a condominium.
The contributions will be granted following the outcome of two separate tenders, depending on the year in which the investment was made.
In the case of condominiums we are developing a guide on the operational methods of requesting the condominium administrator (including those subject to CPI, fire protection certificate of the Fire Brigade) for the installation of a wallbox inside your own box.
The column bonus is an incentive paid in the form of reimbursement, through wire transfer on the taxpayer's or condominium's bank account.

When to request the column bonus, the expected dates are 2024
When will you be able to request the BONUS for the columns mounted this year, during 2024? What will be the dates to apply for the contribution? If the timing reflects those of the last 2 years (2023 and 2023) the request for the bonus can be requested in the second part of the year (last year the period was from 12:00 on November 9, 2023 at 12:00 on November 23, 2023): definitely by the end of the year. On November 2, 2023, the window closed for installations carried out from October 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
Dates 2024
The 15-day period in which INVITALIA could activate the platform to register applications for the 2024 bonus is hypothetically between 14 November and 28 November 2024 (or from November 7th to November 21st 2024), dates which we will obviously update precisely as soon as we have more precise information.
To take advantage of the column bonus it will be necessary to wait for the issuance of the implementing decree by the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy.
